M. toringoides Cutleaf Crab 
A shrubby tree with beautiful, slightly cut foliage and irregular, 
picturesque habit, covered in late May with a cloud of creamy white

ering Crabs.

Japanese Flowering Cherries 
Small trees seldom growing over 30 feet. Very beautiful 
in flower, some double, some single, white to deep pink, in 
late May. In acid soils, fair applications of lime at least 
every second year are needed; otherwise the Japanese Cher- 
ries may prove tender in the North.

Quercus — Oak 
Splendid trees, rather slow growing at first, but when 
once established develop amazingly within a few years. They 
are of noble proportions and give an impression of bound- 
less strength and vigor. They make well-proportioned, digni- 
fied trees for boulevard or street planting and they cast a 
welcome shade as lawn specimens. Oaks hold their richly 
colored foliage well into the winter. 
Quercus borealis (rubra) Common Red Oak 
A majestic broad-headed tree with attractive foliage of glossy dark 
green which turns dark red in the fall. One of the finest quick-grow- 
ing specimens, once it has become established. It should be planted 
more frequently along streets as it is a durable long lived tree. It 
is one of the trees which best withstood the recent hurricanes.
